Twenty-six years ago today, a precious gift from God entered my life. My son, Josiah, was born and the world has never been the same since.

Josiah had a sense of humor as a child.
Of course, his grandpa helped it along!

He also showed promise of being quite a brilliant business man at a very young age.
He was a brave young man (although we worried about him and sharp objects).

Josiah was always a pied piper and a bit of an entertainer.

This gentle-spirited boy grew up into a brilliant and caring man.

Those who know him love him. Words fall short of what he means to me and thoughts of his past, present, and future make me smile!

When I am with him, I laugh, I think, I love…because these are the essence of his character. His wit, mind, and heart are contagious and ever-giving! Happy birthday precious Josiah!
Oh, Josiah! At 13, willing to spend a portion of his summer helping us move to Montana, guiding “the old guys” through the back roads home. As a young college grad absorbed in conversation with a Spanish-speaking great-grandma without concern for a cool image. Cool!
Good memories, great son!
